Acciona has received approval to build the AUD$1.96 billion (US$1.5 billion) MacIntyre Wind Farm Precinct at Cement Mills, southwest of Queensland, with construction expected to start in the second half of 2021.
The precinct will include two farms, the 162 turbine MacIntyre Wind Farm and the small 18 turbine Karara Wind Farm, which will be owned and operated by the Government-owned energy generator, CleanCo Queensland.
The development will also include 64km of overhead transmission line to the Powerlink network near Millmerran.
The precinct will be located on land predominantly used for sheep production, with the site chosen due to its high winds.
